review 1: The great challenge is to go against the natural instinct of regarding the Gospel as the entrance ticket and then relying on self to run the rest of the race. The Gospel is both the means and the end to a Christian's life. No other can. The author has clearly experienced the joy and confidence from his awakening, and has clearly thought through how it then permeates into every aspect of our lives. Of course a Gospel awakening is definitely more than just a mere stimulation for the brain but must leap forward into one that affects the heart as well.
review 2: This is probably the best representative of the gospel-centered movement. Wilson is a great writer. Essentially the book makes the case that there is Christianity (being saved) and there is Gospel-wakened... more Christianity (being apprehended by the gospel). These can happen simultaneously, or they can happen separately. Having made his case, the remainder of the book seeks to explain and encourage gospel-wakefulness. I enjoyed this book a lot, but I'm not sure his model of sanctification is completely accurate. less
